Politics in America have gotten sour. A lot of people have turned to the extreme like the people you mentioned above. The words: Anti-America, Propaganda, and things like it have started to be easily and over used insults over the last few years.
It's sad that our politics can't stay civilized. People have closed their minds to anything they disagree with and that's just how it is right now.

The rude answers are just a reflection of the general decline in civility in the U.S. When I was growing up, you would never hear a woman cursing in public, but nowadays you can hear it all the time, for petty, mundane things such as having to wait an extra minute in the checkout line.
Also, people are much less literate than they were a couple of decades ago. Swearing is the only way they have to say anything with any flair or emphasis. They command of the English language is barely above ghetto level.

I have seen rude answers from both American and other nationalities. I think in cyberspace everyone has the right to be a idiot and most people excercise that right.
As to answering so rudely to that question, you have to understand there's a lot of patriotic and pro-Bush people still alive in the USA.

that is exactly why.
They are threatened by the idea that you are "trashing" their country, and tarnishing the reputation of the great USA.
America was treated like the king of the world and was put on a pedastal, but we are quickly losing respect around the world, but we keep in power by being a political bully.
Most Americans dont really know whats going on outside of their country (or dont care - its not happening to me, so why bother syndrom)
They dont want to consider that our government may be the enemy..... They dont want to consider that everything we have been told is a lie....
I loved your previous question btw! :)

this is an OPEN forum, as open to "opinion" as it is to "useful intelligence"
you'll be challenged when you hit the "hot button" topics of people here, whether it be what's considered an attack on the president or a slam against liberal bias in the media...
so either get used to it or go to a "safer" place to discuss things...

"American answers are no more or less rude than European, Asian or African."
You're wrong ! Let have an eye on French Yahoo, there are very few insults.

Very probably. Reasoned argument is best not composed in ten second answers, like this one, in fact!
